Simpson is nominated for Album of the Year and Best Country Album for his genre-mixing "A Sailor's Guide to Earth." Chicago's Chance the Rapper is nominated for seven awards, including three for best rap song - all despite never releasing a traditional physical album. Many music critics imagine Beyoncé will be the story of the night. Her much-talked-about "Lemonade" album has her leading the pack with nine nominations. What are you looking forward to seeing at the Grammys? The CBS broadcast starts at 5 p.m. local time at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and will be hosted by James Corden.
